Much is written for moms by moms about snacks for kids but what about snacks for moms? Moms get hungry mid-morning and mid-afternoon too and are always looking for something healthy and filling, and ideally purse or diaper-bag friendly…no refrigeration, no special container, and non-squishable. Simply impossible to find, you say?
We thought so too until we found the Simply Bar from Wellness Foods, which has the most protein with the least calories of any natural food bar, and is made from pronounceable ingredients like soy and brown rice syrup, no weird fats and no artificial sweeteners. There are five yummy flavours—Cinnamon, Cocoa Raspberry, Lemon Coconut, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Cocoa Coffee—and they all make for a great on-the-run snack. I’m keeping one in my bag at all times now—might save me from scarfing down that chocolate bar at 4 pm when I realize I still have not had a chance to eat lunch!
We think you would agree that when it comes to Mother’s Day, one of the best gift ideas for Mom is time away from the kitchen. Make it easy for Dad and the kids to show you how much they love and appreciate you this Mother’s Day by giving them the ideas and the tools they will need to prepare a delicious breakfast for you.
If you feel your family needs some inspiration or the kids are ready to do it all on their own, pick up a copy of Jennifer Low’s Kitchen for Kids: 100 Amazing Recipes Your Children Can Really Make and leave it out on the kitchen counter. Kitchen for Kids is a wonderful cookbook full of recipes your kids can actually make themselves. There is no need to worry about safety, because these recipes require no sharp knives, stove tops, blenders or food processors.
As a friendly reminder, print and post this checklist on the family bulletin board or fridge ASAP. Don’t forget to include the directions to the nearest Tim Hortons, Starbucks or Second Cup in case they need a back-up plan.
Checklist (for Dad and kids):
Presentation is everything, so make Mother’s Day breakfast pretty—a tray (if it’s breakfast in bed), fancy napkins, hand-drawn placecards, flowers…and don’t forget about the clean up after breakfast—CRITICAL step.
Breakfast ideas kids can make (with a little to a lot of help):
Here’s wishing you a wonderful Mother’s Day morning. I would love to hear how your Mother’s Day breakfast turns out.
